  • Hispanic and Latino Americans are Americans of origins in Hispanic countries of Latin America or in Spain; in New York, however, those with origins directly in Spain can be omitted from the group, for certain purposes. The group encompasses distinct sub-groups by national origin and race, with ancestries from all continents represented. Hispanics and Latinos constitute 15.1% of the total United States population, or 45.4 million people, forming the second largest ethnic group, after non-Hispanic White Americans (which is also composed of dozens of sub-groups). Again, Hispanic and Latino Americans are the largest ethnic minority in the United States; African Americans, in turn, are the largest racial minority, after White Americans in general (non-Hispanic and Hispanic). Mexican Americans, Cuban Americans, Colombian Americans, Dominican Americans, Puerto Rican Americans, Spanish Americans, and Salvadoran Americans are some of the Hispanic and Latino American sub-groups. People of Hispanic or Latino heritage have lived continuously in the territory of the present-day United States since the 1565 founding of St. Augustine, Florida by the Spanish, the longest among European American ethnic groups and second-longest of all U.S. ethnic groups, after American Indians. Hispanics have also lived continuously in the Southwest since near the end of the 16th century, with settlements in New Mexico that began in 1598, and which were transferred to the area of El Paso, Texas in 1680. Spanish settlement of New Mexico resumed in 1692, and new ones were established in Arizona and California in the 18th century. The Hispanic presence can even be said to date from half a century earlier than St. Augustine, if San Juan, Puerto Rico is considered to be the oldest Spanish settlement, and the oldest city, in the U.S. For the U.S. government and others, Hispanic or Latino identity is voluntary, as in the United States Census, and in some market research.
  • El término latino (llamado Hispanic en Estados Unidos), se aplica a los ciudadanos estadounidenses de diversas etnias, con algún antepasado u origen español o hispanoamericano. Este término se basa en un criterio de clasificación idiomática, pues hace referencia a los hispanohablantes y lusohablantes pero no a los francófonos, aunque también el francés se hable en varios países de América. En el diccionario de la Real Academia Española aparece esta palabra, hispano, como quinta acepción. Las distintas comunidades de este origen aplican la palabra «latino» principalmente como una identificación cultural. La población de latinoamericanos estimada en 2004 por la Oficina del Censo alcanzó aproximadamente a 41 millones de personas, constituyendo la principal minoría en los Estados Unidos y la de mayor crecimiento estimado en los próximos años. Los ciudadanos clasificados de esta manera se autodefinen, además, como herederos del llamado hispanismo.
  • Les Hispaniques et Latino-Américains sont les Américains d'ascendance Hispanique ou Latino, qui comprend des ancêtres ou des origines en Amérique hispanique ou en Espagne. Les Hispaniques sont près de 45 millions aux États-Unis, soit 14 % de la population totale (300 millions d'Américains). Ils représentent aujourd'hui la première minorité ethnique devant les Noirs. Leur identité se fonde sur la pratique de l'espagnol, même si la deuxième ou la troisième génération des Hispanos et Latinos parle le plus souvent anglais.
